The kotravai sculpture of the cave is unparalled in its beauty and is very unique in many respects. For those who think that it is pullamangai or athiranachandeswaram or even thakkolam that is the best masterpiece ever made, I'd request them to reserve their opinions till they visit this cave
The casual posture the absence of weapons in both main hands, the leaning figure - and the surrounding female attendents and their posture - all contribute to an early pallava masterpiece
The situation of cave is really pathetic - not even a proper tubelight to see this wonder in good light. We had to use the deepam of the sanctum and see it in half light
